A digital short story from The Dead House author Dawn Kurtagich

There is a box.

A box that should never have been discovered.

And a warning beneath the lid.

This was for Kaitlyn. It was a mistake.

Forget this box and leave the Isle.

Don’t look any further.

I’m begging you.

After the inferno that swept through Elmbride High, claiming the lives of three teenagers and causing one student, Carly Johnson, to disappear, Naida Chounan-Dupre was locked away for the good of society.

But that wasn’t the end of the story.

Because you can’t play with the devil and not pay the price.

The chilling, psychological horror of The Dead House returns with never-before-seen footage of the Naida tapes.

  • Praise for The Dead House:
    "What an evil and original story. You can't stop reading Kaitlyn's diary. But is she real? It's a mystery inside a mystery--and the shocks keep coming. Scary stuff!"
    R.L. Stine, author of the Goosebumps and Fear Street series
  • "All I could think when I finished THE DEAD HOUSE was that the author, Dawn Kurtagich, has an amazing mind. Creepy, but amazing. I loved it."
    Christopher Pike, bestselling author ofThirst
  • "Full of twists, buried secrets, and enough disturbing corpses to please the most discerning horror lover, THE DEAD HOUSE is a thoroughly engrossing read. Diary entries, psychiatrist records, and transcripts from the investigation keep the pages turning late into the night. This is a harrowing tale, cleverly told."
    Kendare Blake, author of Anna Dressed in Blood
  • "THE DEAD HOUSEis a seamless blend of the supernatural and the psychological. Creepy, compelling, and compulsively readable."
    Victoria Schwab, author of The Archived and Vicious
  • "Kurtagich weaves a terrifying and mind-bending tale reminiscent of H.P. Lovecraft. This is one of the best horror debuts I've read in a long time!"
    J.R. Johansson, author of Cut Me Freeand The Night Walker series
  • "Not for the faint of heart, this is a gory and grimly compelling story, made more so by the novel's visual elements."
    Booklist
  • "This creepy boarding school novel meshes real world issues with a paranormal mystery in a fun but scary debut... Fans of horror novels will appreciate the creepy photographs scattered throughout, and the multiple perspectives are smoothly integrated... A worth addition to high school horror collections."
    School Library Journal
  • "Told through a retrospective collection of found evidence surrounding the deaths of several students in a boarding school fire, Kurtagich's debut novel is deeply disturbing and fraught with emotion."
    Publishers Weekly
  • "Kurtagich maintains the creepy and dark tone through to the end, where readers are not given a neat, tidy ending - the ghosts still haunt, pieces of the story remain missing, and life goes on despite the terrible tragedy at the prestigious Elmbridge High School."
    Voya
  • "...Will keep many readers anxiously waiting to see what comes next."
